DUSSELDORF.- The exhibition explores the many different aspects of motherhood over eight chapters. From the concept of the “good mother” to care work and family configurations, the show illustrates how the role of mother quickly breaks down into different, highly individual perspectives that are nevertheless deeply intertwined in cultural history. A polyphonic sound installation uses pre-recorded voice messages to give space to personal experiences, memories and visions. “Everyone has a mother. By placing motherhood at the centre of an exhibition, the Kunstpalast is once again addressing a topic that directly touches the lives of our visitors and that everyone can relate to with their own experiences and opinions. The show combines seriousness with humour and art with everyday life and pop culture – thus tying in with the ... More Jacqueline Kennedy, New York, January 14, 1958. © The Richard Avedon Foundation. Courtesy Gagosian.

Images from a 1946 series portraying Zazi, a Roman street performer, are also included. Gagosian has represented Avedon’s work worldwide since 2011. Beginning with his arrival in Rome in 1946 just after the end of World War II, when Italy was still largely inaccessible to visitors, Avedon made several trips to the country throughout the subsequent decade. The multiple series of photographs to which these exploratory trips gave rise were pivotal in the development of his sophisticated approach to portraiture. Avedon was particularly drawn to Italy’s beauty and devastation, to the breadth and power of its history, and to ...

Photo: Owen Conway. Courtesy Gagosian. PARIS.- Gagosian announced the presentation of Union Springs (2025) by Deana Lawson in the vitrine at the rue de Ponthieu gallery. The photograph, which was taken in a sun-shower in Union Springs, Alabama, is shown in one of the artist’s distinctive mirrored frames. Lawson’s images explore the ways in which communities and individuals occupy shifting ecological, economic, and social terrains. Drawing on the aesthetic traditions of snapshot photography, social documentary, and studio portraiture, she links the representational function of the camera to the defiant power of beauty. Union Springs depicts a lowrider car with an almost animalistic feel, its arboreal environment appearing less incongruous than one might expect. Lawson was captivated by the way in which the vehicle’s vibrant chrome finish was heightened by the rainy conditions in which the shot was taken. Lowriders, which are characterized ...

Courtesy of the artist and Nara Roesler. SAO PAULO.- Nara Roesler announced the representation of Brazilian artist Mônica Ventura (b. 1985, São Paulo, Brazil). Ventura’s multidisciplinary practice spans video, sculpture, and painting, and explores the complex intersections of femininity and race. In her work, she delves into pre-colonial cultural elements such as Afro-Amerindian architecture and artisanal techniques as a means of personal reconnection. "Ancestrality is a key to remembering who we are and continuing to break away from the colonial framework that seeks to polish individuality," explains the artist. With an approach that combines strength and feminine delicacy, Ventura challenges aesthetic formalism, creating what she describes as a "beautiful, organized noise" that invites reflection on identity, memory, and power. Mônica Ventura lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil. She holds a degree in Industrial Design from FAAP and a masters in Visual Poetics (PPGAV) from ECA-USP. Her solo exhibits include A Noite Suspensa ou o q ... More Roger-Edgar Gillet, L’Homme aux boucles d’oreilles, 1996. Oil on canvas, 100 x 73 cm (39 5/16 x 28 11/16 inches).

More Malign Junction (Goodbye, Berlin) by Alex Baczyñski-Jenkins at Gropius Bau BERLIN.- On March 14 and 15, Gropius Bau kicks off the spring programme with Malign Junction (Goodbye, Berlin), a performance developed specifically for the atrium of Gropius Bau by artist and choreographer Alex Baczyński-Jenkins. The new piece gestures towards Christopher Isherwood’s 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin, set in the final days of Berlin’s nightlife and cabaret culture during the rise of fascism. Berlin functions both as a specific location and as a site of projection—embodying histories of state violence, transformation, life within countercultures, concepts of freedom and endings. The choreography unfolds as an unspectacular “grand finale”, with performers dancing on the edge of an ending: the performance navigates the tensions between loss, anger, seduction, the uncanny and ecstatic abandon. “We are delighted to welcome the start of spring ...

More Léon Spilliaert's enigmatic visions arrive in New York after nearly 50 years NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner is presenting an exhibition of works by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert (1881–1946) at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street location in New York, organized in collaboration with Agnews, Brussels, and curated by its director, Dr. Noémie Goldman. This presentation is a rare opportunity to view a significant number of the artist’s works and marks the first dedicated Spilliaert show in New York in nearly five decades. Spilliaert’s distinctive and highly enigmatic compositions reveal the influence of symbolism, such as the works of French artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916), combined with elements of expressionism and surrealism. His career is often considered in tandem with that of his contemporary, the Belgian painter James Ensor (1860–1949), who, like the younger artist, was born and lived much of his life in the seaside city of Ostend, ...

Her work brims with urgency, joy, and curiosity for and reverence to the world around us. She uses the same techniques, materials, and motifs to make clothing and “rugs” as she does for art on the gallery wall. Throughout her work, little to nothing is discarded, with scraps from one artwork recycled into another, reflecting both a practice of eco-sustainability and a model for creating something new from fragments left behind. Wilson pulls from her identity as a Black biracial artist living in ...
